Pattern Description: Loose fitting unlined jacket has lined pockets, sleeves with stitched hems, toptitching and asymmetrical snap closing.

Pattern Sizing: It comes in sizes 3-4 thtough 42W-44W.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Sort of.

Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't use the instructions.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it was easy and had just a few pieces.

Fabric Used: I used is wool/poly fleece that I got at the ASG yard sale.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't use any linings or facings. Also I used wooly nylon to finish the edges. I added Snap Source snaps as closures and used three instead of the single snap called for in the pattern.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I won't be sewing this again, but it is a fast and easy project. I haven't decided if I would recommend it or not.

Conclusion: I've had this fabric in my stash for a while and it takes up lots of room. I wanted a casual sweater coat type garment to wear this winter to ward off the chill. It's a great project, but has very little shape to it and looks a bit sloppy. DH doesn't like it because it doesn't have a collar. He thinks it looks unfinished and would be okay as long as I just wore it in the house.

Buy this pattern for $14.96  List Price: $19.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Actually this would be great with a turtleneck or a mock turtle or if you dress it up with some neck jewelry. I like it!

Thanks for the ideas. I need some new tops and now live in an area where it gets cool enough sometimes to wear a turtleneck.

Yeah, I've noticed all the warmer collarless coats over the years are worn with turtlenecks or big scarves. Your coat looks nice and warm.

Love the color. I think it's fabulous and wish I had one just like it! I thought immediately of the interplay of that collar with a turtleneck or funnelneck (thinking dark navy or black, but I'm not really great at that kind of thing.)
